This course's biggest advantage is definitely its utility. The skills learnt about Microsoft Word, Excel, R Studio, Libre Office, and QGIS are super useful, both within the Faculty of Forestry and beyond. Prof. Ahmed was a pretty nice, and her pre-recorded lectures were to the point. There were occasional moments where the course didn't feel very useful (like with Excel Macros), but overall it was good. Assignments can be tricky if you don't watch any lectures, but attending labs frequently usually ensures a great score, and the TAs were great too!

As mentioned, attend the labs. Assignments are completed there with the TAs and you can ensure a good score. Also use their piazza!
